Sudden heavy blood clot?

I usually don’t have super heavy flows and since this is day three of my period I wasn’t expecting my flow to suddenly get heavy cause of a menstrual clot?

Usually I can feel when these are coming. Idk how to explain it like I can feel when a clot is about to come out. So I’m laying in bed snd I can feel one coming so I’m thinking nothing of it but after a few seconds the feeling hasn’t passed and it feels like I’m peeing. Now I know for a fact I’m not actively pissing myself but I stand up and wait a few seconds and I feel something drip down my thighs so i decide to check snd when I say it was a god damn f

**** blood bath. My pad which I only had on for a few hours was absolutely soaked and the biggest F**** clot I’ve ever seen and a pool of blood on the pad and down my thighs. For the first time during my period I was like

???! Am I dying?!?!

Anyways I’m wondering if anyone else has had any wtf moments from their period like this before
